Patent EP-1229489-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAZUYUKI IMAGAWA
IPC: G06K9/52
Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: An image processing method for detecting an object from an input image by
use of a template image. The image processing method includes a step of
inputting a specified image with respect to both a template image and an input
image, a step of calculating an edge normal direction vector of the specified
image, a step of generating an evaluation vector from the edge normal direction
vector, a step of subjecting the evaluation vector to orthogonal transformation, a
step of performing a product sum calculation of corresponding spectral data
with respect to each evaluation vector that has been subjected to orthogonal
transformation and has been obtained for each of the template image and the
input image, and a step of subjecting it to inverse orthogonal transformation and
generating a similarity value map. The formula of the similarity value, the
orthogonal transformation, and the inverse orthogonal transformation each have
linearity. It is possible to make pattern recognition in which the component of
the similarity value is not subjected to positive/negative reversal through
variations in brightness of its background.

Abstract: A decoding method of a product code calculates a kth soft
output value of each of r C1 codewords [C t ] (t = 1, 2, ···, r)
detected at a codeword generating step. Beginning from t = 1,
if a kth value of a C1 codeword [C t ] is zero, then compare the
first variable, the initial value of which is predetermined,
with the likelihood of the codeword, and substitute into the
first variable the sum of a greater one of the first variable
and the likelihood and a correction value of the difference
between them. If the kth value is nonzero, then the second
variable is updated in the same manner. The update of the first
and second variables is carried out with incrementing t one by
one from one to r, and the kth soft output value is calculated
from the difference between the first and second variables
updated.

Abstract: Toute manipulation d'une endoprothèses avec les mains, avant son implantation, peut entraîner une contamination de l'endoprothèse par des corps étrangers et une hyperplasie néo-intimale importante. Le rinçage haute pression d'une endoprothèse stérile disponible dans le commerce, juste avant son implantation, permet d'éliminer les contaminants résiduels de surface de l'endoprothèse et de réduire les inflammations déclenchées par les entretoises de l'endoprothèse. Le déploiement et l'analyse de la surface de l'endoprothèse ex vivo ont révélé que les endoprothèses rincées comprenaient moins de contaminants de surface que les endoprothèses n'ayant pas été touchées ou celles ayant été manipulées. Dans un modèle porcin d'endoprothèse destiné au traitement de la resténose, les endoprothèses rincées provoquaient moins d'inflammations et moins d'hyperplasies néo-intimales après un mois que les endoprothèses ayant été manipulées et celles n'ayant pas été touchées. Le rinçage haute pression des endoprothèses coronaires, juste avant leur implantation, permet de réduire les inflammations et l'hyperplasie néo-intimale.

Abstract: A tree is used to partition stateless receivers in a broadcast content encryption system into subsets. Two different methods of partitioning are disclosed. When a set of revoked receivers is identified, the revoked receivers define a relatively small cover of the non-revoked receivers by disjoint subsets. Subset keys associated with the subsets are then used to encrypt a session key that in turn is used to encrypt the broadcast content. Only non-revoked receivers can decrypt the session key and, hence, the content.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'affectation de largeur de bande pour la distribution de contenu numérique stocké à partir d'au moins un dispositif serveur à destination d'au moins un dispositif client par le biais d'un réseau. Le procédé prescrit d'abord une variable de commande qui représente un débit cible du dispositif serveur vers chaque dispositif client. Ensuite, on détermine les contraintes variant en fonction du temps imposées au débit. On détermine une fonction coût de la variable de commande pour chaque client. La fonction coût correspond à une valeur maximisée de la variable de commande. Enfin, la largeur de bande est prescrite à chaque client en fonction de la valeur de la variable de commande maximisée par la fonction coût. A cet égard, le procédé permet d'obtenir l'affectation optimale de la largeur de bande entre le serveur et les clients respectifs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of visualizing a three-dimensional volume image data set (1). A two-dimensional image (15) is then formed by projecting the volume image data on a projection plane in that for each pixel (16) there is determined an intensity value which corresponds to the maximum value or minimum value of the mean intensity along a projection path (17) which extends through the imaged volume and is associated with the relevant pixel. In order to determine the mean intensity, averaging is performed over a plurality of intensity values which neighbor one another along the projection path (17). In order to achieve effective noise suppression as well as adequate image contrast, averaging is performed over at least partly overlapping intervals (18 to 22) along the projection path (17). The method in accordance with the invention offers the advantage that the user can choose the width of the averaging interval as an additional free parameter, so that image contrast and background noise can be influenced independently from one another to a significant extent.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un instrument d'assemblage de tuyaux utilisable dans un système de forage pétrolier et similaire, cet instrument comprenant un arbre d'entraînement inférieur sollicitant un arbre d'entraînement d'un ensemble d'entraînement supérieur pour entrer en rotation avec lui. Cet instrument d'assemblage de tuyaux comprend en outre un ensemble de sollicitations de tuyaux inférieurs mis en rotation par l'arbre d'entraînement inférieur et il est conçu pour solliciter de façon amovible un segment de tuyau de manière à empêcher essentiellement toute rotation relative entre les deux. Ainsi, lorsque l'ensemble de sollicitation de tuyaux inférieurs est actionné pour assurer le maintien ferme d'un segment de tuyau, l'ensemble d'entraînement supérieur peut être actionné pour mette en rotation l'arbre de sortie d'entraînement supérieur, ce qui entraîne la rotation de l'arbre d'entraînement inférieur et de l'ensemble de sollicitation de tuyaux inférieurs, ladite rotation entraînant également celle du segment de tuyau. Cet instrument d'assemblage de tuyaux comporte un plus grand désaxage de compensation des coins de retenue, de telle sorte que le tuyau de forage et les raccords de l'instrument pour tuyaux de forage puisse passer par le passage central de l'instrument, sans venir interférer avec la partie frontale des coins de retenue.
